This isnt the actual K&N Kit, Its a K&N Filter with some other piping. Seems like it has everything you need to make it work though, So if your looking to save the money give it a shot, If not stick to fujita or nismo.

I don't know about this.If you stand by your product how come you don't provide the instructions to install it? I've been seeing these intake kits on Ebay alot and it makes me wonder how they will stand by their product if a part is missing and you can't assemble it. Buyer beware.

Spend more on a proven product like Fujita that comes with install directions.

I dont know about the comments above the parts all seem to be there. There might be one hose clamp missing if I figured this out correctly. You can probally install this using the instructions from the nismo intake. The stuff seems to be there but the gains might be questionable since the pipes are not from K&N so you might not get what they advertise but it should work.

Don't stick that cheap crap on your engine man!! It'll save you in the long run! Just buy an Injen, Nismo, or Fujita intake and save yourself the trouble. Injen is the best intake IMO.

I have a guestion at K&N, I do not want a CAI but rather a Short Ram, Stillen has on from K&N for about 238, does anyone own one, I havent seen any talk about those. PS. I did not intend to thread Jack, LOL. Just figure we are talking about Intakes, might as well throw it out there

I would suggest the Berk Technology short ram.

I guess the Fujita is a rite of passage if you own a maxima, lol. But i rather not have a full CAI, i liked the short ram because i did not want to worry about hydrolocking and what not, i know theirs shield but figure i would just get a short ram. Has anyone use or know of someone who used the K&N one? Thanks in advance

This is the reasoning behind my purchase of the Berk intake. It's longer than most short rams but long enough to pull air from the fender well. Remember to remove the intake pieces in the fender well. It'll help get more air into the engine bay. Don't worry, I live and breathe hurricanes and floods. I work for the office of emergency management in Houston and I still have my ride.



Here's the link to their site.

Berk Intake

That looks hot, I like that very much, plus price is not badd. Do you believe I will have any problem installing in an 08, I dont think I should, its the same engine after all. I just move here last April from NYC and my first hurricane is a memorable one, LMAO.

Thanks for the Pic, KC. Was this install a dIy, if so i may need your help

KC BADD news for me, I called Berk and asked if the intake will fit an 08 as their site said 04-06. The guy told me that it will not fit the 08 because the configurements are totally different, basically, length and fitment issue and not sure what else, that is enough for me to go wiht the K&N Short ram Stillen offers. Thanks for the help
